Meet The Business Magician
Kostya Kimlat is a magician, mentalist, speaker, and expert in the role perception plays in business.
But Kostya wasn’t always “The Business Magician,” traveling the world (and Zooming) engaging audiences.
When he was nine years old, his Ukrainian-born family started over, seeking opportunity in the United States as Soviet refugees.
After arriving, Kostya saw a magic special on TV. He was blown away. So his father invested $160—no small sum for the new Americans—in an 8-volume book set so Kostya could learn magic.
His dad’s $160 investment led Kostya to:
perform in hundreds of cities on five continents;
empower executives at organizations like Sysco, AT&T, Siemens, and NASA;
create See Magic Live, which books in-person and virtual magicians for events around the world;
lead the team of magicians for the Orlando Magic NBA team;
lecture at the legendary Magic Circle in London and perform at the venerated Magic Castle in Hollywood;
and fool Penn & Teller on their hit TV show, Fool Us, a performance that went viral on YouTube and made Kostya the closing act of the duo's hit Vegas show.
Through hundreds of performances at business conferences, conventions, and sales meetings, Kostya got a behind-the-scenes look into how businesses lead, motivate, and connect with their people, inspiring him to build a business around his passion for the art of magic and the psychology of perception.
Now, as the Business Magician, Kostya is an in-person and virtual entertainer for professional audiences worldwide and teaches audiences to see things from the perspectives of others—customers, clients, and colleagues. As an online magician, has performed for tens of thousands of virtual Zoom audiences worldwide.
And his dad is very, very proud.
“One of the best magicians we have in the world today.”
— Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller
Virtual magic that’s virtually essential.

Your Virtual Magic Show Questions, Answered
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL MAGIC SHOW?
In Kostya’s virtual magic shows, he astonishes your guests with theatrical mind-reading, mentalism, and mind-blowing sleight-of-hand magic. Your guests will watch on Zoom from their homes or offices, while the Zoom magician wows them live, calling on them by name to participate in his magic tricks.
WHY CHOOSE KOSTYA’S VIRTUAL MAGIC SHOW FOR A TEAM-BUILDING OR CLIENT APPRECIATION EVENT?
Kostya’s sophisticated, brand-focused style of online magic shows are ideally suited for businesses, companies, associations, and organizations, who are interested in virtual team-building or virtual client engagement.
Before he became a virtual magician, Kostya became known as “The Business Magician” after more than a thousand performances at business conferences, meetings and events worldwide. Using magic to break the ice with audiences and communicate key concepts from the stage, Kostya has trained thousands of businesspeople as a keynote speaker how to better read their audience and be more aware of how they are perceived by others. Now he speaks at both in-person corporate events and virtual meetings.
WHAT TAKES PLACE DURING KOSTYA'S ZOOM MAGIC SHOW?
During Kostya Kimlat’s Zoom magic and mentalism show, attendees will have the opportunity to experience a blend of incredible magic and mind-reading feats, all from the comfort of their own homes. The show begins with Kostya introducing himself as the virtual magician and setting the stage for the performance. You will also have the opportunity to welcome your guests. He will then perform a series of incredible illusions and mind-bending tricks, designed to captivate and amaze the audience. Kostya also incorporates elements of mentalism into his performance, allowing him to seemingly read the minds of audience members and predict their actions. Throughout the show, Kostya encourages audience participation and interaction, making the performance a truly engaging and interactive experience.
HOW IMPRESSIVE IS KOSTYA’S ZOOM MAGIC SHOW?
In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, legendary magician Penn Jillette called Kostya “one of the best magicians we have in the world today.” And Penn would know—Kostya performed on his TV show, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, on which he fooled the famous duo, earning the prize of closing their Las Vegas show. The video clip of Kostya’s performance has become one of the show’s most popular ever—with 11 million views and counting.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY TO HOST A SHOW WITH A VIRTUAL MAGICIAN?
If you’re hosting a virtual magic show as a part of a virtual corporate event, Kostya recommends just before lunch; if you’re hosting your online magic show as a part of the work week, a good time can be a virtual happy hour; and if you’re looking to entertain your clients or invite families, then an online magic show scheduled for the evening works well.
WHAT VIRTUAL PLATFORM DOES KOSTYA USE?
Most of Kostya’s virtual shows are hosted on Zoom. While Kostya can perform a show on any other platform—like WebEx, GoToMeeting, Google Hangouts, and Microsoft Teams—Kostya has found that Zoom offers the most flexible, interactive platform, creating the best possible experience. Zoom offers high-quality video and audio, allows for a high level of interactivity and audience participation, is user-friendly and easy to use, and is widely used and supported, which is not always the case with Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. These features make Zoom the platform of choice for Kostya and many experienced online magicians, and ensure that attendees have a truly immersive and engaging experience during the performance.
Your online magic show can either be hosted on Kostya’s Zoom account or on an account being used throughout your virtual conference, but most clients choose to have Kostya host the Zoom magician show on his account.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I INVITE TO A SHOW?
That’s up to you! Kostya Kimlat’s virtual magic show is scalable and can be performed for audiences of any size, from as few as 10 people up to thousands of people.

Whether you are hosting a small team meeting or a large-scale corporate event, Kostya is able to provide a virtual event that is tailored to your needs and that is sure to captivate and amaze audiences of all sizes.

Once he and his online event team have a chance to learn more about your goals, desired show length, audience, and interest in brand customization, you will receive a custom quote. Prices start at $995 for a show by one of Kostya’s team of virtual magicians, and prices start at $2,995 for virtual entertainment by Kostya.

As a virtual magician, Kostya’s interactive online magic features a blend of theatrical mind-reading, incredible mentalism, and under-your-nose sleight-of-hand.

Kostya’s interactive virtual magic show centers on community and connection. At a time when connection is more important than ever, Kostya gets his audience members interacting with him, his magic, and each other in a joyful, entertaining way. Be sure to let Kostya’s booking team know if your virtual event has a particular theme or central message of its own, so that Kostya can incorporate your theme into his show.
DO VIRTUAL MAGIC SHOWS STILL MAKE SENSE? ISN'T THE PANDEMIC OVER?
The Covid-19 pandemic may have ushered in the Zoom magic show, but virtual gatherings are here to stay. With the rise of remote work and the realization of what can be accomplished without travel, companies continue to capitalize on the affordability of hiring a virtual magician to deliver a high-impact, community-building, interactive, memorable experience. While most Zoom magicians have hung up their digital shows, Kostya continues to share his online magic experience.
CAN WE HANG OUT ON ZOOM AFTER KOSTYA FINISHES THE VIRTUAL SHOWS?
After Kostya finishes his online magic show, your group can certainly take some time to connect with each other on Zoom—just be sure to let Kostya’s team know in advance. The post-show chat can provide a great opportunity for attendees to share their thoughts and reactions to the performance or discuss whatever they’d like. This can be a fun and engaging way for attendees to connect with each other and build a sense of community and connection.
CAN KOSTYA’S VIRTUAL MAGIC SHOW REALLY COMPETE WITH AN IN-PERSON MAGIC SHOW?
There are several reasons why Kostya Kimlat’s digital show might be as good as, or even better than, seeing a magic show in person. First, the virtual format of the show allows every audience member to have a front-row seat, ensuring that they have a clear view of the performance and can fully experience the interactive magic and illusions. Additionally, the virtual format of the show allows for greater interaction and audience participation, as attendees can use the chat feature to communicate with each other. Finally, the virtual format allows for a more personal and intimate experience, as Kostya is able to connect with audience members on an individual level and create a sense of community and connection.
DOES KOSTYA USE HIS ACCOUNT TO HOST THE ZOOM MAGIC SHOW?
Kostya Kimlat’s team is dedicated to providing a smooth and worry-free tech experience for their virtual magic shows. In most cases, Kostya will host the online magic show using his secure, high-definition Zoom account.

How does Kostya select his audience members?
Every virtual magic trick that Kostya performs includes audience participation, whether it’s one person, a few, or the whole group. Kostya’s virtual magic show is structured to create maximum participation, so he looks for people who eagerly want to participate. Throughout his virtual show, however, there are moments when every participant is playing along from their desk using a deck of cards to make the magic happen in their own hands. He builds trust so that people want to turn on their video screens. As Kostya treats every audience member with kindness and respect, the audience quickly sees that being a participant is a very positive experience where they become the star. Even skeptical spectators who say, “I don’t want to get picked,” end up engaging with Kostya and eagerly hoping to get selected themselves.
Can I tell Kostya in advance who to select as volunteers for his magic tricks?
As a master of the art of magic and mentalism, Kostya has a keen eye for selecting the right people to volunteer, and he is able to create a truly engaging and interactive experience for attendees. The spontaneity and mystery of who will be selected is a key part of what makes Kostya’s virtual events so much fun, and allowing Kostya to choose the volunteers ensures that the performance remains fresh, exciting, and unpredictable.
